Mitosis Cartoon Strip Guidelines
Directions: Today you will be making a cartoon strip of the cell cycle. Before you
begin working, ask yourself what do other cartoon strips that you know of have in
common? They are colorful, they entertain you, and they tell a little story. I would like
you to do all of these things in your Mitosis Cartoon Strips. For each phase box, be sure
to label the phase that the cell is going through and describe it in your most creative
way.
Be sure to include the following 10 boxes into your mitosis cartoon strips:
1. A title box including the title of your cartoon strip, your name, the date, and your
period number.
2. One cell cycle/mitosis introduction picture with short description
Ex:
Hi! I am a cell and
I’m getting ready
to divide!
